South London producer Darq E Freaker made his name in the grime scene years ago, producing monster tracks such as Tempa T's 'Next Hype'. Constantly evolving in sound, he went on to work with acts such Danny Brown, D Double E and more. The Peckham native now unleashes his latest mixtape 'ADHD', out April 30th via Big Dada. Consisting of 5 tracks in total, the record is a sonic barrage of hyper-bass frequencies infusing trap, twisted electronica and grime. Just like his 'Don't Freak Out' mixtape from earlier this year, Darq E Freaker is definitely taking you on mental roller coaster ride at full speed.
For his latest video 'This Is England', East London's Kano travels throughout the country highlighting various cities such as Liverpool, Newcastle and more. Directed by Ben Falk and Kano himself, there are clips of him moving about in different locations such as traditional pubs, the raves and the countryside. In our book, he is top rated for the hook alone with the "back when Lethal Bizzle was Lethal B" bit. The song is taken from his latest album 'Made In The Manor'. Check it out.
London producer Rude Kid has been on sheer fire lately. With his new instrumental EP 'Noah's Ark' landing March 25th, the grime head honcho now shares the track 'Wiley Kat'. Clearly paying homage to the 'Godfather of Grime' Wiley, the production incorporates classic grime compositions with sinister strings weaved around a menacing bass line.
Speaking to i-D Magazine, Rude Kid mentioned:
"I named this tune after the godfather of grime, Wiley, because when I was making it I was picturing him MCing over the tune. I think he was the first person I showed it to when it was done and I was flattered that he loved it. It's the perfect tune for my DJ sets."
East London grime producer Rude Kid is set to release his forthcoming EP 'Noah's Ark' on March 25th via the Rinse label. Comprised of four instrumental tracks, the new recording will feature a hybrid of golden age grime style production, jungle and intense bass. One of the songs featured on 'Noah's Ark' is the track 'Oh My Bass', which if you have been listening to Sir Spyro's Rinse FM show over the past month and a half, you would have heard it being dropped in sets, notably the episode with Ghetts and Rude Kid himself. You can stream 'Oh My Bass' down at the bottom.
Peckham Rye Music festival now proudly announce another set of exciting additions to the already stellar line-up. Dial Records boss and Smallville affiliate Lawrence will perform a new live show centering around both new material from his album on Mule Musiq and much-loved classics.

Lakuti, one of the founding members of the legendary Süd Electronic night, flies in from Berlin to re-create a little bit of the magic from her 11-year spanning parties for us here. She was last in Peckham in 2014, her set at the Bussey was so much fun so we're very pleased to welcome her back.
Coco is the man right now. Having released one of the biggest tracks of 2015 with 'Big Bou Yah' produced by Toddla T, the Sheffield native has blazed radio shows across the UK and completely smashed it on Charlie Sloth's 'Fire In The Booth' series.
Coco is back with the video for his single 'Big N Serious'. Animated clips decorate the screen as he performs the song, with a guest appearance at the end by Toddla T himself, who by the way, also produced the song as well. 'Big N Serious' is released through Toddla's Girls Music imprint.
